Either party has the right to initiate legal proceedings in the UK Courts. Outside of adjudication, there is a dispute escalation procedure, namely (i) the authorised representatives of each party are to attempt to settle a dispute first (ii) failure to settle is referred to regional managing directors to attempt to resolve (iii) if still not resolved the dispute is to be referred in good faith to mediation.
